The site has been very helpful so far and I thank you for your time in advance.
1) I have a budget of about $15k for the diamond, but would definitely spend less if you have better suggestions.
2) It will be placed in a 18k gold setting
3) Similar to the Tiffany Novo, however I would like a Round Diamond as opposed to the Cushion.
I would imagine based on the info I have gathered from your site that the diamond would be between 1.5 and 1.7 carat. These are a couple I am looking at but would appreciate advice if you can see anything of better value.

I am still having trouble understanding if these are eye-clean as the second one seems to have a little black spot in it.
Thanks again!
Those are both fantastic diamonds. I can’t see the price for the VS2, but if it’s cheaper go for it. Either way, you have a winner.
